So do you consider yourself one of the top entrepreneurs within your particular niche?
If not, why not? And if so, how so?
Have ever noticed “how” many actual skills the typical (constantly) on the move type of non stop entrepreneur, actually has?
They (you) have to wear many hats, often some of them simultaneously.
Especially in the beginning! Right?
Hey, it’s definitely the life of a star!
What do you want? It’s the road you (we) chose! Enjoy!
And look at the bright side; you’ll either whined up rich and famous. Or you’ll spend the rest of the majority of your adult life, trying to explain to your kids, “why” you don’t have the money for their college tuition! 😀
Seven Things Top Entrepreneurs Have To Get Really Good At Fast!
Maybe the real reason top entrepreneurs are so darn versatile, is because they (you) have to get used to (more like) accept (in the beginning) anyway, that you’ve got to not only wear several different hats simultaneously.
But you’ve also got to be really good at several things, until you can either hire and or outsource these must do tasks.
Of course you never really give up total control (right?), but you just have to learn how to effectively delegate.
1.) Must needed skill # one: Top entrepreneurs (like you) must really get good at “adjusting” your schedule and or marketing plans!
Especially in the beginning! Because it’s kinda touch & go (translated), lots of macro & minor testing and tweaking in the beginning!
Until you get your barrings! And even then, be ready at at a moments notice to adjust again!
Steadily Growing Your Small Business And Or Service Is An Ongoing Project!
2.) Must needed skill # two: Top entrepreneurs have got to be able to get by (especially) in the beginning, without much (very little) traditional (bank) financing!
Don’t look for your local banker to be very sympathetic and or supportive of your cause, when your just starting out!
Because the failure rate among brand new start ups, (especially think outside the box entrepreneurs!)is down right depressing!
And besides, they’ve got a hard enough time, trying to justify all of their totally conventional small business loans!
3.) Must needed skill # three: Top entrepreneurs better be prepared to burn the midnight oil 12-16 per hours day! Especially in the very beginning of their entrepreneurial journey!
Because unlike a salaried or hourly nine to five, when you work for yourself, your income isn’t guaranteed! But the extremely long hours are!
Successful Entrepreneurs Are Constantly Adjusting To The Ever Changing Demands!
4.) Must needed skill # four: Top entrepreneurs have to constantly be in real learning mode! Because otherwise they (you) will quickly discover that passion alone, simply can’t take the place of skill! (And passion alone, simply doesn’t pay the rent!)
5.) Must needed skill # five: Top entrepreneurs had better be ridiculously laser focused! Especially in the beginning, because, there is just so much detail you’ve got to stay on top of or your proverbial goose gets cooked!
6.) Must needed skill # six: Top entrepreneurs need incredibly strong and dependable emotional supporters! And lots of them! Because the road to success is paved with bumps!
And lots of up hill climbing!
Successful Entrepreneurs Play As Hard As They Constantly Work!
7.) Must needed skill # seven: Top entrepreneurs definitely need something that allows them to periodically emotionally unwind and get away from the fire! Otherwise they get burned out! In which case, both their professional and personal lives suffer!
Figure out what else you like to do away from your business and do it often! That way you stay and remain mentally fresh and laser focused! Entrepreneur don’t sacrifice your business success for personal failure!
